GD on chroming 2k2-2k3 front grill...interest???

I just wanted to gauge interest in a possible group deal on getting our factory 2k2-2k3 grills chromed. I've been in contact with Glenn from Mueller Corporation, they have a process to chrome plastic (see link for details). He said if we can get 10 people together it would be about $50 each. Turn around time is only a few days. He mentioned that they have the right to refuse any grills that are in bad cosmetic shape i.e. badly scratched, dented, dirty etc. and they recommend washing with hot water and joy dish soap before sending for processing. Anyone else interested?

Check the website. There obviously aren't any pics of a Maxima grill yet since I'm trying to get the group deal going.

I think you are better off buying one of the custom grills for $50 than spending $50 on chroming your plastic grill...

Maybe

I would have to see what a Nissan grill looked like all chromed up. If it looks good I would do it. most after market grilles are flat and don't look that good on the 03 Maxima. So keep in touch, maybe he could do one to show everyone how it looks!!!
